Granted
The veteran is granted an annual clothing allowance for 2001 due to the use of a right knee brace caused by service-connected residuals of a shell fragment wound.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's service-connected residuals of a shell fragment wound to the right thigh cause instability requiring a brace, which wears out clothing.
